2022 GMC Yukon Complaint Log

Vehicle stalls and shuts off. Unable to start back vehicle as it only cranks and unable to put it in neutral gear to push out of roadway or for towing.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the engine failed to crank or start-up. After several attempts, the vehicle failed to start. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump power control module had failed and needed to replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The seatbelt latch for the middle seat in the third row will not latch. Big safety concern when 8 people are riding because that seatbelt cannot be used. We have not yet taken it to a dealer. We rode with 8 passengers and did not see any warning lights when that person was not buckled.

My wife and I purchased a new 2022 Yukon around July 4, 2022. The vehicle came with a 36k or 3 years warranty. Around October 2023, we experienced several safety concern issues with the SUV and around 11/01/23, we reported these issues to a GMC dealer. Around 11/01/23, we took our SUV for service at an approved GMC dealer and reported issues with the steering suspension such as a knocking, snapping, and cracking sound when making a turn, and a bumping when making a U-turn or left turn into a parking spot. We also reported issues with the parking and key sensors. We were informed the issue was fixed and that some suspension bolts were loosed and needed to be torqued. On 1/29/24, we took the SUV back for some of these same reasons after other dealers declined to take our SUV under warranty. Once more, the issue was temporarily fixed. We have now scheduled another appointment for these same reasons of knocking, cracking, and bumping when coming from the front suspension and when making a turn or U-turn. In addition, we are now experiencing oil warning lights for a second time as oil comsumption. We believe these are serious safety issues, especially with any potential failure of the suspension under rain, fog conditions, and the lack of resolution and wonder if other similar issues have been reported or experienced by similar drivers of these vehicles. Attached find copies of the work orders. Should you need any additional information, please advise. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 65 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the message to turn off the vehicle was displayed. The driver pulled off the road safely, and the vehicle was towed to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that an unknown part had fractured and become loose inside the engine. Additionally, the injector rod was bent. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided financial assistance with the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000. The VIN was not available.

On the morning of Thursday, [XXX], our 2022 Yukon Denali departed from West Richland, WA with the intent to arrive in Spokane, WA. After a short stop in Ritzville, WA around [XXX] local time, we entered the freeway ([XXX] to Spokane, WA) and attempted to pass a semi-truck. The vehicle got to approximately 60mph and then began to rev without any propulsion to increase speed. The vehicle shut off completely and stated that we were to put the car in neutral and attempt to restart. While going 50-60mph, we shifted into neutral and attempted to restart without any success. While the situation was extremely dangerous give the traffic (semi-truck on the right and an approaching vehicle directly behind us), we slowed the vehicle and maneuvered to the shoulder where we stopped the vehicle. The vehicle would not start so we leverage the OnStar system to call a tow truck. Unfortunately, there was no ride available being 1-2 miles outside of Ritzville, WA where transportation services do not exist. We requested the help of WA state troopers who picked up 7 of us (4 separate trips) on the side of the highway. The vehicle was towed to Spokane, WA and we were left to fend for ourselves to get to Spokane. The vehicle is in the shop and we are told based on the codes achieved that it is a full engine failure.

I’m filing this complaint regarding my 2022 GMC Yukon Denali (VIN: [XXX] , MSRP ~$76,805) with an unresolved L87 engine recall. I made an appointment at my local GMC dealership on 5/8/25 specifically for the L87 recall. Upon arrival, staff only documented the Serial Data Gateway Module recall, which I hadn’t even known about. When I mentioned the 6.2L engine, I was asked if I was “sure.” I believe I was treated dismissively because I’m a woman. After pushing back, staff pulled up the bulletin, confirmed my engine needed replacement, and told me to “drive it until it blows up or there’s a fix, whichever comes first.” The L87 was only added to my receipt after I insisted—it was falsely listed as an “added operation,” though it was the reason I came in. I sent a certified letter to GM on 5/12/25 (signed for on 5/15/25) confirming the date I tendered the vehicle. Both GM and the dealer were fully aware the 60-day federal repair window had begun. It is now well past that deadline, and the L87 recall remains unresolved. Compounding the issue, the AC failed on [XXX], and the vehicle has been parked since early June due to extreme KY heat, making it unsafe to drive my children. I rely on this vehicle for daily commuting—driving ~100 miles/day for work—and it is also the only vehicle we own capable of towing our family boat, which has now sat unused all summer. I am currently paying $1,000/mo for the Yukon, $600/mo for the boat, and $200/mo for insurance—$1,800/month in preventable financial losses caused by GM’s failure to act. No repair has been offered. No loaner vehicle has been provided. No response has been received. I believe I was misled and discriminated against at the dealership, and I am now financially burdened and without a safe, reliable vehicle. This situation qualifies under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act for repurchase, compensation, or forced resolution. I am requesting a formal investigation and full remedy.

I was driving on the freeway with my family when the dashboard lights went off and the car started making a noise. The car then started shaking and I immediately pulled over. I was with my family and my children got scared. Previously to this the car had not shown any signs of problems. I had the car towed to the dealership. I received a call 2 days later from dealership stating my car needed a new engine. The car only has 42K miles and has had all oil changes.

Dropped my 2022 Yukon Denali off May 7, 2025 to Mike Reed Chevy due to failed transmission. Order was placed May 15, 2025 for a valve body part. Multiple phone calls were made without success on status of repair. I was forced to drive to the dealership for answers on June 10. I was told that due to my car being under warranty I am at the mercy of GM. The Part needed is apparently on indefinite backorder. Contacted GM to expedite part and was told it could be 3+ months before I can expect my car back. Claim number with GM is 55328239. After doing research, there is over 2000 people who are experiencing the same issue. Mike Reed Chevy nor GM offered assistance with a rental to offset the inconvenience. It was only until I demanded to speak with the service manager that I was given a rental car. As someone who manages a hospital, the delay in obtaining this part has caused significant hardship, and to date, there has been no clear timeframe provided for when the part will become available or when repairs can be completed. As a consumer, I am left without reliable transportation as the dealership has requested me to return my rental. The lack of transparency or timeline for resolution is deeply concerning. This has not only impacted my ability to fulfill daily responsibilities, but has also raised broader concerns about the availability of necessary vehicle parts and the protections in place for consumers in similar situations. I am seeing guidance or intervention from your office to help expedite this matter, whether through direct communication with the manufacturer, identifying legal remedies available under consumer protection laws, or advocating on behalf of consumers facing unreasonable delays in vehicle repairs due to supply chain issues. Any assistance or direction your office can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Total valve body failure in the transmission at 30k miles. I was traveling with my daughter on the freeway at 65 mph and the vehicle went into limp mode. No indication of problems prior to this incident. Vehicle has been at dealer going on a month now. They have no valve bodies available, on a national backorder. They replace it with the valve body that is known to fail again. GM knows about this problem and the solution they offered was only a software upgrade so the back tires don't lock up when this happens. My daughter and I could have been seriously hurt or killed.

My wife was driving the vehicle down a major highway in Tulsa and it immediately shut down and started slowing down. She was in the left hand lane had to cross 3 lanes of traffic with a dead engine. Luckily she wasn’t ran into because traffic was very heavy. This could have resulted in injury or even worse. She made it off the highway by about a foot and had to sit there for 30 minutes before I could get there. The vehicle had to be towed to a dealership and they just confirmed that the engine was blown. The vehicle only has 70,000 miles on it and has had regular oil changes.

While driving 75 on the highway the vehicle shut off completely, shifted to neutral and a message flashed on the dashboard to "press start again". This has happened previously when my 16 y/o was driving but we chalked it up to user error. Scheduled appointment with dealership. There were no warning lamps, no lights illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle just cut off and I have not been able to reproduce the issue.

2022 GMC Yukon Denali, 6.2 with 37,000. Bearings failed. Needs a new motor. 150 miles away from home. Engine failed with no warning on a highway. Had to call police to assist. Paid for a tow truck out of pocket. Covered Under powertrain warranty, Unsure if I will get a new or refurbished motor. I was told by the dealership that lead times could exceed two months. GM is not extending my powertrain warranty.

Without any signs of an issue the engine seized while driving on the highway, Thursday [XXX]. Thankfully my wife was exiting the highway when the vehicle shifted its transmission into neutral, allowing my wife to coast onto the shoulder. The vehicle would turn on the electronics, however the engine would not attempt to turn over. The vehicle was towed to Carl Black GMC of Kennesaw. I was originally told the transmission was the potential problem but the transmission tech was on vacation until the following Monday the 14th. Once they looked at the vehicle, at that time they determined that it was not the transmission. The engine had seized and that there is at least a 6 month wait for another engine. They have not recommend a further diagnoses of the exact failure within the engine due to the common occurring issue with these engines.

Driving on the highway the engine suddenly revved high and suddenly went into limp mode on the highway. Reverse is no longer operational. 2022 GMC Yukon with 49,000 miles. Limped the vehicle to the dealership who has indicated it needs a new transmission valve body that is currently on national backorder given the prevalence of the issue. I have been requesting a work order denoting the failure and required repair but have not yet received from my dealership. I will pass this along as soon as I receive it. I spoke with GM customer service last night requesting their assistance in getting this for me.

Driving back from Spring Break Vacation in Destin, FL, with my wife, daughter [XXX] and son [XXX] on [XXX] and the vehicle engine started making a clicking sound slightly past Greenville, AL. When given gas, the vehicle RPMs would increase, but the vehicle would fail to accelerate. Pulled off onto the shoulder and the vehicle completely died I wouldn't start again. Had to call Emergency Roadside Assistance for help, and they had to Tow the vehicle to the Chevorlet/GMC Dealership in Montgomery, AL.

While approaching a red light, my 2022 GMC yukon just shut off leaving us unable to start it or even shift it to neutral to move the vehicle. This posed danger with oncoming traffic, so my family and I got out of the vehicle while awaiting a tow. We had to get the car towed and it was determined to have complete engine failure due to a rod bearing issue. One hour prior to it failing we had a check engine light come on. No other noises or warnings prior. The car is now at the dealership awaiting a new motor since still being under warranty. The motors are on backorder so its unclear how long this will take.

Vehicle has no reverse. 21,750 miles and have been told by the dealer that it needs a transmission valve body which are unavailable at this time and it could be several months before they are able to obtain the valve body.

- Rearview camera system (backup camera) which is malfunctioning increasing risk of a collision and safety concern. - Yes it can be available for inspection upon upon request. - Problem was reported to dealer 4/15/25 for inspection on 4/24/25 - Vehicle has not been reported to manufacturer, police, insurance representatives as it is scheduled to be checked by GMC dealer who claims there are no outstanding recalls on vehicle when it is the same known problem on other 2022 GMC Yukons (SLT) and others. - No warning lights appeared prior to camera malfunctioning.

The engine on my vehicle has been consuming approximately a quart of oil every thousand miles for months. I have made this issue known to the dealership who services my vehicle over that time period. The dealership (Radley Chevrolet in Fredericksburg, Virginia) and particularly the management has not been concerned about my issue. I have also contacted GMC. I've explained to Radley Chevrolet and GMC that as a [XXX] while in the military [XXX] that my vehicle will leave me and my family stranded somewhere without recourse. Both are aware of the ongoing issues and have not addressed my many documented concerns. I have an extended warranty, so I'm covered for parts and labor for years. Again, the concern is for my safety and the safety of my family. This vehicle could possibly leave me as [XXX] and my family on the side of the road. I have reported these concerns numerous times.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon Denali. The contact stated that after the vehicle came to a complete stop, the vehicle stalled. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure persisted, and the vehicle failed to restart again. The vehicle was first towed to the residence, and then to the dealer, who determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired and remained with the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.

Engine locked up / froze up while driving 75MPH on interstate i-10. Vehicle is now in the shop awaiting a new engine. It will probably lock up as well, finding there is no known guaranteed reason for this engine failure. Dealership provided a junk rental and said it would be a few months before repair is complete. My towing bills were not paid by GM. My insurance had to pay which is simply not right! I'm sure they will pull a mystery motor off the shelf and hope for the best... Very dangerous!

Multiple low oil warning indications. Oil consumption analysis performed by service department. Test results determined engine replacement required.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle independently shifted into neutral. The contact was able to coast to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle stalled and was unable to be restarted. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the engine had seized, resulting in damages to the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); the VIN was included, but parts were not yet available.

We were driving down the interstate at around 70mph and without warning - the vehicle shut off. The engine stopped running and the vehicle put itself in Neutral. The headlights and electrical all shut off and the only message on the display was to push start to restart the vehicle. Luckily, we were able to safely maneuverer out of traffic without being hit by other vehicles. Our vehicle was able to be restarted once we came to a complete stop and put the car in park. We are having he vehicle towed to our local GMC dealer to have it evaluated. The issue only happened one time.

On February 21st when driving on the highway at highway speeds, the vehicle on its own shifted into neutral and I was forced to pull over onto side of the road before the vehicle allowed me to put back into gear of drive. Upon getting back onto the highway, I noticed and heard the sound of the motor very different and louder than normal, I immediately pulled over to the nearest exit to where the vehicle shut off on its own and did not allow me to control the vehicle. I was stranded at the exit where a number of other vehicles and 18 wheelers were trying to exit, I called the local PD, to come assist with traffic control and had to wait on tow truck to have vehicle towed home, then next day towed to local dealership. Received a phone call from dealership days later that the technicians were able to fire it up, but it immediately lost oil pressure and motor locked up, I am being told by the dealership that the motor will need to be replaced, it is covered under warranty BUT I am being given no timeline as to when it can be fixed.

Car shut off while driving down the interstate at 70 MPH. Barely got to side of road. Two children were in the vehicle. The safely of all in the vehicle were at risk. Car would not restart. Had to be towed. GMC dealer told me the motor needs to be replaced. It is the 6.2L.

The 6.2 L engine Yukon spun a bearing caused my car to shut down in the middle of the road barely got off the side. Lucky that we were not at highway speeds and nobody rear ended us. When I got to the dealership they did not care that this occurred and GMC customer care did not even acknowledge about the safety of us on the road when this occurred. At this point GMC nor the dealership has an ETA on replacement.

WAS DRIVING AND LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING POWER BREAKS AND STERRING GOING AROUND A CURVE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 74 MPH DASH SAID TO PLACE IN NETRAL AND RESTART I CAME TO A STOP WONT RESTART ENGINE IS LOCKED UP WONT RESTART . THIS IS UNSAFE AND COULOD HAVE CAUSED A BAD WRECK

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while attempting to refuel the vehicle, the contact became aware that the fuel tank was inoperable. The contact stated that the fuel tank failed to allow fuel properly to enter the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

On January 23, 2025, at approximately 7:00 p.m., I was traveling on I-10 when, without warning, my engine shut off on my 2022 GMC Yukon, and I rapidly lost speed. We managed to pull the vehicle off the road. This was extremely frightening since there was traffic on I-10.

Definitely needs an engine. Will get a new engine, radiator and oil cooler lines ordered Rear pinion seal on the rear differential was leaking also so I've ordered one of those and will replace it

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated while driving at approximately 45 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

My vehicle radiator fan immediately cut on high when I turned on the vehicle. The temperature of the vehicle was normal. I also experienced this when the engine was completely cold. I was assured there was no need to tow the vehicle but I could drive and schedule service with dealer. The software triggered a reduced acceleration condition. This did not allow me to accelerate as needed while navigating an interstate interchange.

Sudden loss of power while driving approximately 60 MPH. Dash saying "press engine start". The vehicle lost all functions while moving at about 60 mph with zero warning signs. After diagnosis with the GMC dealer, crank bearing failure led to complete motor loss. The concern was there was no warning signs, noises etc. that would allow to get the vehicle to a safe location off the road. We were lucky we were going straight and not on a corner and able to coast to a wide enough location to get the vehicle off the main lanes of traffic.

Engine seized on the highway doing 80mph with my three young children in the car. The safety of my entire family was at risk! Luckily made it to the side of the road safely, but was freezing in the rain and snow with a completely dead vehicle. The vehicle had been in for service months earlier and they detected a “bearing” issue and had it for 2+ weeks to repair. I can’t help but think these two incidents are related. No warning signaling that the car was going to die - it became very clear we were coasting while trying to apply the gas.

I was driving on an expressway in Chicago heading to work at 5am on [XXX] morning. While driving my engine shutdown and I lost engine power to my vehicle while doing 70mph. There was no warning, no warning lamps and no noise to indicate there was any issues. The vehicle just died while I was driving. I had to coast to the shoulder with traffic all around me. Luckily I was able to avoid other vehicles and they were able to avoid me when they realized I was having trouble. Though there was a very close call where I almost got into an accident. When I pulled onto the shoulder the vehicle completely shutdown. It would not restart. I had to call a tow company to have my vehicle towed to the Dealership. Luckily, I was able to find one nearby that was open at that time on Christmas Eve. The dealership mechanics went over my vehicle and determined that I had complete engine failure. The bearings on the bottom end of the engine spun out. I now need a complete engine replacement along with whatever other components were also damage. This incident was a major safety issue. I was luckily that I did not end up in a major accident due to the loss of complete engine power. This is a major issue that needs to be looked into and GM needs to be held responsible for not only my vehicle but all others that this is happening to.

After only 47,000 the Yukon started with hard starts and triggering a check engine light. Owner suggested fuel issues, the dealership suggested a bad wire. They adjust the "bare wire", and mentioned that the fuel pumps on these vehicles have issues and they would order one- but give them a holler when we have additional problems. The Yukon continued to hard start, evolving into stalling when started. The dealership was alerted but due to lack of engine codes being stored the dealership couldn't help us. Eventually when driving 57mph, the Yukon cut engine on a busy route, driver was able to get the Yukon to the shoulder and attempted restart- the Yukon was dead. AAA attempted to battery jump the Yukon without success. We were without our Yukon for 8 weeks, being placed in random trucks that couldn't support our family size. Upstate Chevy of Attica was not help in the process. We did contact GM directly and received a case number 9-14907008493. The engine was replaced. The Yukon still doesn't seem to be 100%, with some slow to starts. We are asking for compensation toward another GM full size SUV. We are GM friends and family and have purchased several vehicles over the years. We'd like to trade our suv now for a new 2025 without engine issues- but since our Yukon was gutted, that is now noted on a carfax which devalues our trade.

The engine started making a rattling sound. Brought it to the dealer and they told me the engine is bad and it needs a new one. They told me this issue with lifters and the fuel management system is a common problem leading to internal metal components breaking. My car has been with the dealer since 12/30/24 and I was told this week from the dealer the problem is so big there aren’t any engines available and they have no idea when I’m getting it back. When I initially dropped it off, they said approximately a month. Now they are saying they don’t have a clue.

The GMC dealer said the engine needs to be replaced and GMC said they would pay for the majority of the cost. But that was 46 days ago and they still don’t have a replacement engine. So I have been stuck without a vehicle

Windshield wipers quit working while raining and driving. I was able to get home even though I couldn’t see. I tried turning the car on and off multiple times and testing the windshield wipers but they still didn’t work. After about 10 mins, I restarted the car and the wipers worked again. I took video of the wipers not working while the car was on. They will work fine and then all of the sudden while it is raining they will stop work. This is the second time this has happened in 4 months.

Loss of 2 qt of engine oil in less than 5000 miles

Engine failed at 20,100 miles. Going 65 on the highway in rural area when the lifters failed and it decelerated quickly. Had it towed to Monken GMC and they stated the engine had an 11 month lead time for replacement due to the high number of I87 failures that GM is currently having. Eventually had it towed to O’ Fallon Buick GMC in the St. Louis area, where they confirmed the same thing. Engine failure, 11 month wait time. I called GM and they offered no assistance.

MY ONSTAR MODULE CRASHED. I CANT USE ANY OF MY FEATURES. WHAT IF IM IN A WRECK? I PAID SO MUCH MONEY FOR THIS CAR ONLY FOR IT TO CRAP OUT LIKE THIS. NOT TO MENTION THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL COME IN!!

After the vehicle was serviced with a fuel injection cleaning and an oil change (by a GM dealership), the vehicle lost about 5 miles per gallon while driving and has not improved since. . I brought the vehicle back to the same dealership and complained. Another fuel injection cleaning was performed, but it did not help. It has been about 3 months and nothing has improved. I use 93 octane, TopTier gasoline.

Engine failure as a result of a bearing failure. I have been waiting since December 3, 2024 for a replacement engine.

Engine locked up while driving down the highway, no warning or anything. Only 19,000 miles. This happened on November 30th 2024 and Yukon is still in the shop. They have installed 2 motors, which all have failed.
